That's why I stop caring how the culture feels about beef/street shit. Niggas just want entertainment and some people take the bait.

I wish people would stop talking about the culture. It doesn't exist.

Street Hip Hop and Gangster Rap always been voyeurism. Watching young Black men, rap about crime and excess and gaining a sense of animalistic vitality from it.

In exchange for that, they get rich and feed into beefs for attention and fund their gang for protection.

Either they grow up and transform themselves or they die or go to prison.

This isn't culture. There is nothing cultural about this. This is just gangsterism and ghetto life.

Most of those speeches are a waste of time for 2 reasons. These young dudes & their crew have huge egos to overcome & the main thing is, its gunna be hard to talk that life to someone getting rap money and never did any real time. Bet if half of them did a few months locked up with no money, they'd take Wallo more serious and change how they move.

Right now they al think they're too rich & smart to get caught for anything

Not necessarily, the message is out there. It might/did not reach that crowd or some others but it reaches the public and it’s a good message to pass on to millions who have seen it or others who will pass it on to others. It’s a great message from someone who actually was supposedly in the same predicament.

Y'all didn't listen to Ahh Haa.

Dirk told on himself.

At the end of the day, Dirk did what he had to do in order to keep the respect of his gang.

No one is bigger than the gang. Despite Durk moving to ATL and etc, he still a 2nd generation gangbanger.

Ain't nobody should be saying Free Durk. He got his reward.

His brother dead, his protege dead and he got his revenge.

Now he can go be Big Durk to his kids like his father was to him. He is the patriarch now.

At the bold...Vince Staples talks about that on Little Homies

"They arguin' about my net worth over the net (Uh-huh)
They quantifyin' everything I ever did for the set (Uh-huh)
When every nigga livin' for it still livin' in debt"
 
No way Durk was ever making it out with his freedom

I always thought he was too smart and rich to get shot and killed but he got too many murders around him not to get caught eventually
 
Whenever I see stories like this. I always think of Big Boi line from Wheelz Of Steel.

"It take your momma nine months to make it/
but it only take a nigga 30 minutes to take it

All those years of work Durk put in to make it in the rap game. Just to lose it all in a flash because he chose to slide instead of riding off to the sunset

The way the culture is represented online and social media platforms like the shade room leans towards fanning controversy vs the other way. Social media is bigger than the radio or whatever real life activities that exists now. #Slide4Von has millions of retweets and became a real thing whether it was trolls , or white kids it represented Durk for a looong time to the point where he constantly responded to it in his songs.

My simple point is whenever there can be violence or YN activity a large amount people flame it on and instigate shit. I think that's what Cole was trying to talk about in his response whether we like it or not it's a reality in a very masculine world where you can't look like a bitch. It gets even amplified if you claiming street shit or when your love ones gets killed.

I think of another kast line/skit...

B4 one of the songs on southernplayastic:

"penitentiary full of niggas who thought they werent no punks."
 
If true what a fuckin waste if not true I hope he learned a valuable lesson to let that street shit go.

Edit: True or false there's still a valuable lesson to be learned. Eventually you have to grow up and realize how valuable your freedom and life is SMH

I think normal civilians don't have an idea of what gang life is like and I don't think we have as much of impact as we think we do.

These people grew up in poverty and gang life. These are second and third generation gang bangers that have inherited beefs and started new beefs and known each other since children. They went to the same schools and everything.

The music is secondary or even third to gang life.

They rap because it's cool and it's a way to taunt each other.

Normal law abiding citizens take an interest in it because it's deviant.

These people aren't normal human beings that just have a disagreement.

They have a way of life that is oppositional to any sense of rationality and order.
